Default Re: Rail yard incident

Growing up in and around the Oshawa plants our High Schools were always supplied w/ lots of Damagaed in Transit GM vehicles..
Body and trim parts were often sold, given away or stolen and the vehicles turned into operable chassis...some w/ shortened WB to take up less space..

When I worked in the car business we'd often receive DIT vehicles at the dealer level and they were always fixed..
Receiving vehicles that'd already been repaired somewhere between assembly and delivery wasn't uncommon either!.
It was often a game between the shipping companies and the dealers over who'd take the jab for damage costs as if you didn't spot the damage and get it noted and signed by the delivery driver on the shipping manifest, you were on the hook!.
I still laugh when I see the transports unloading in front of dealerships...especially if it's at night!.
